The hatred in Claudia's heart has never been stronger.

In Claudia's opinion, the pain and suffering she has suffered in the past year is all caused by the black dragon.

It was the attack of the black dragon that ruined her happy family, made her lose her husband, made her children lose their father, made her wash her face with tears for a while, and made her lose sleep almost every night because of longing and stress for nearly a year.

Therefore, after learning the news, Claudia couldn't hold back the hatred and excitement in her heart, and immediately contacted Brian, asked for the specific location of Brian, and planned to go to Brian to find out the specific situation in person.

Ten minutes later, near a sentry post in Scorching Canyon.

The teleportation spell fluctuated, and Claudia appeared in this cursed land, and Brian not far away hurriedly greeted her.

"Hey, Claudia, I'm here." Brian shouted at Claudia in a loud voice characteristic of a dwarf.

"Glad to see you're safe and sound, Brian," Claudia smiled, but soon, as Claudia saw more, the smile on her face froze, her brow furrowed, and her right hand pressed against the hilt of Stumka's sword, "What's going on, Brian." ”

Claudia has reason to be wary, around her, there are a lot of black iron dwarves walking around, these black iron dwarves have different personalities from their peers in Ironforge, they are more treacherous and violent, they have always been against humans, and they are the sworn enemies of Ironforge, how did Brian get mixed up with the black iron dwarves.

"Don't be nervous, little girl." Brian stretched out his hand to signal Claudia to relax, "The Thorium Brotherhood is not cursed like the other Black Iron Dwarves, they are not cursed, they are just as unhappy with Thorrison's rule, and they are the ones who saved my life. ”

After listening to Brian's words, Claudia's guard dissipated a lot, she had always believed that race was not a sign of glory, and Brian was worthy of her trust.

"You just said that these black iron dwarves saved you?" Claudia asked.

"Yes, that was a day ago......." Brian said about his adventure.

After attending the Alliance Summit, Brian continued his journey to collect the shards of the Scepter, and according to the news, the red dragon Valastaz, who was in charge of keeping the shards of the Scepter, had stormed the Blackstone Tower a few days ago and never came out.

Brian tracked the news of Valastaz and made it to the Blackstone Tower, where he discovered a lot of shocking news.

This Blackstone Tower is by no means as simple as Brian knew before, in fact, most of the people in the Alliance are not interested in the Blackstone Tower, after all, this land has been cursed, and it is full of volcanoes, black iron dwarves and old tribes, which are not of much value, so the alliance leaders have only built checkpoints and watchtowers nearby to guard against it.

In the previous understanding of most of the alliance's high-level leaders, the Blackstone Tower was built by the Black Iron Dwarves who were enslaved by the fire elemental, and later many remnants of the defeated tribes also entered the Blackstone Tower, such as the Blackstone Orcs, who had a conflict with the Black Iron Dwarves over the ownership of the Blackstone Tower, which lasted for many years.

But Brian made more discoveries this time, he found that the ogres, trolls, orcs and other members of the old tribe on the upper floor of the Black Stone Tower were actually controlled by the black dragon, and in the secret room on the top floor of the Black Stone Tower, there were many dragon beasts, dragon people, and black dragons, and the orcs and trolls were respectful to them, and even Brian found a lot of corpses of dragons of other colors, which made Brian suspect that the red dragon Valastaz was also more than lucky.

Caught aback by his discovery on the upper floors of the Blackstone Tower, Brian sent a message to the Stormwind Kingdom, fearing for the evil of the Black Iron Dwarves, and this time, his luck was apparently not good, as his stealth was spotted and he fled to the Black Iron Bar in a desperate run, where he was rescued by the Thyrin Brotherhood.

"Many of the Black Iron Dwarves are unhappy with the status quo, and they are plotting to overthrow the rule of Thorrisen and the Fire Elementals, and the Thor Silver Brotherhood is one of them, and they have many allies in the Darkfurnace City."

"The Black Iron Dwarves don't have much to do with us, Brian," Claudia emphasized, apparently more interested in other news, "Can you tell me a little bit more about the Blackstone Tower?" ”

After Brian answered, Claudia frowned, the Blackstone Tower was not easy to fight.

Even though Claudia killed thousands of Blackstone Orcs in Red Ridge Mountain half a year ago, there are still many trolls, ogres, and orc warriors in the Blackstone Tower, and with the help of the Black Dragon Legion and the organs in the Blackstone Tower, it is very difficult to capture this Blackstone Tower.

Moreover, in addition to the troops, there are other issues to consider when attacking the Blackstone Tower, the climate here is too harsh, and many human soldiers will have a hard time adapting to the environment here, and it is also very difficult to replenish, and what is even more uncertain is the attitude of the Black Iron Dwarves towards the arrival of the Alliance.

The Black Iron Dwarves belong to the evil camp, and they are very likely to take advantage of the defeat of the Orcs of the Stormwind Kingdom and the Blackstone Tower, and by the way, they will also clean up the army of the Stormwind Kingdom.

"In order to track down Varian's whereabouts, the Blackstone Tower must fight, but the power of the Stormwind Kingdom alone is not enough, I need allies."

Claudia made a preliminary judgment, and she thought about the power she could use at her disposal.

Most of the alliance's forces were eliminated by her for the first time, and all countries are now preparing for Angela, and the alliance between the alliance forces is only of a common defensive nature, and does not include an active offensive part, unless there is a common interest, you can persuade another country to assist in the war.

Common good?

Thinking of this, Claudia looked at Brian, and a message flashed through her mind.

"Brian, you're going to the Blackstone Abyss this time...... Any news of Princess Moira? Claudia asked cautiously.

Princess Moira is the only daughter of King Magni and the sole heir of Ironforge, but she was kidnapped by the Emperor of the Black Iron Dwarves during a trip a few years ago.

"Yes," Brian's face turned ugly, "Thorrison forcibly married my niece Moira, and that tyrant thinks this will humiliate us copperbeard dwarves...... ”

Seeing Brian cursing so angrily and loudly, a thought became clear in Claudia's mind.

"We have a common interest with the dwarves in this matter, and King Magni will stand with me."

With this in mind, Claudia teleported to Ironforge shortly after, where she confronted King Magni and proposed a win-win cooperation: Stormwind would assist Ironforge in attacking the Blackstone Abyss and rescue Princess Moira, while Ironforge would assist Stormwind in capturing the Blackstone Tower.

"No problem, I agree to this offer," King Magni yelled, his face twisted into rage as he spoke about it, "I've always planned to send troops into the Blackstone Abyss, and it's great that the Stormwind Kingdom is willing to help, and by the way, I want the life of that tyrant, he raped my daughter, and his actions dishonored all the Copperbeard Dwarves!" ”

"So, it's decided, I will return to China and act as soon as possible." Claudia nodded.

After Claudia returned to Stormwind, she summoned Matthias as soon as possible, talked about her agreement with King Magni, and asked about the Dark Furnace.

"What does MI7 know about Dark Furnace City? Are there any of our people in there? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Matthias's answer was somewhat unexpected to Claudia, and she learned more about it in the ensuing questioning.

The Black Iron Bar in Dark Furnace City is one of the most famous underground crime dens and stolen goods in this continent, where there are drill rigs and tunnels that have easy access to the outside world, and the Black Iron Bar is mixed, with many thieves, unscrupulous merchants, and cultists entering and exiting it, and MI7 also has connections with some people in the Black Iron Bar in order to facilitate the movement of the dark world.

The information provided by Madias later corroborated Brian's claim, that there were indeed a considerable number of dwarves in Darkfurnace who were dissatisfied with the enslavement of the fire elemental, and there were also complaints about Thorrison in the city, and the Thorsilver Brotherhood had great influence among this part of the dwarves.

"Madias, you say, is it possible for us to make this part of the Black Iron Dwarves an internal response, to serve us and even subvert Thorrison's rule after the outbreak of war?" Claudia said thoughtfully.

"It's difficult, Your Majesty," Matthias shook his head, "the Black Iron Dwarves and the Copperbeard Dwarves are feuds, and once war breaks out, all the Black Iron Dwarves will put aside all their differences and fight against foreign enemies together. ”

"Is there any way MI7 can reduce the casualties of our soldiers?" Claudia asked.

After thinking for a moment, Madias hesitated, "Your Majesty, maybe we can send agents to try to assassinate Sorisen. ”

"Assassination?" Claudia was surprised.

"Chance, Your Majesty," Matthias nodded, "We have the best agents, and we have reliable informants in the Black Iron Bar, we can arrange for a team of Assassins to set out from the Black Iron Bar--- the heart of the Dark Furnace City to assassinate King Thorrisson, the dwarves are not as security-conscious as we humans, and there is a certain chance of success." ”

Matthias stepped back shortly after, and Claudia didn't decide whether to assassinate her until the end, but Matthias's words had opened up new ideas for Claudia, and she realized that she hadn't thought about anything other than sending troops to attack.

Although the act of assassination is immoral, Claudia is not pedantic in the first place, and war is an all-encompassing act, if the assassination is successful, a war can be avoided, even if it is still going to war in the end, at least it can reduce the large number of casualties of your own soldiers.

After delving deeper into this direction, Claudia devised a more complete assassination plan, one with a greater probability of success, a lower failure rate, and a high probability of rescuing Princess Moira by the way.

On the afternoon of the day after Claudia's plan took shape, Gianna, who had come to Stormwind to ask Egwen about the Metri Scroll, was caught off guard.

"Let's go kill Thorrison the Great." Claudia asked solemnly.
